Stand By-Tech Difficulties at Blip TV

I posted Episode 3 of Look! It’s Libby and Roberta last night and all seemed to be working fine. This morning I can’t locate blip tv (the host) and Episode 3 appears to be lost in cyber space. Meanwhile, here’s a couple shots of bubbles for your Sunday morning. Alex Da Corte‘s birthday pinata party at ICA‘s Locally Localized Gravity took place last Wednesday on the Black Floor stage. (Happy 26th birthday, Alex!). I stopped by before the pinata whacking to check it out. The pinata (a jewel- and sequins-encrusted dead deer–quite stunning and death-like in its pose) seemed too gorgeous (and too sad) to smash but I’m sure it was made to produce its wrapped candies eventually. Anybody witnessing the deer bash want to write in on how it went?

The cake, the bubbles.

Heya! Sorry about that! We had a little bit of a DNS problem late at night and early morning today, but it’s all fixed now. We’re working to diagnose exactly what happened and make sure it doesn’t happen again.
Yours,

thanks, much, Mike! I’m happy you’re back blipping along!
I love your work! Clear, thoughtful responses to seeing artwork for the first time.
Go Roberta and Libby!
Btw I was at the opening of Wack (MOCA)last night. I innocently expected to bump into Libby. She may well have been there but it was a mob scene. It’s a fantastic show. I must go back.
Los Angeles loves art and loves a good opening!
Hey Scott, thanks! we’re having fun here. Wack sounds like a great show. I bet the opening was fun. I interviewed Lynda Benglis for a piece on artnet a few years back. Benglis had a show at Locks gallery in Philly that included some of those amazing pour pieces of hers. And we saw Valie Export here in 2000 when she had show at Moore College and spoke on a panel about performance art. Nothing like that old time feminism, I say.
Hi, Scott, I had other plans for last night. I’m hoping to get there this afternoon. LA Times made me really interested, even though the article didn’t follow through in any way with examples of the influence feminist art had on the larger artworld now, not that I disagree, but I was eager to read more.
